The construction is shown in the annexed drawings, in which Figure l is a side View, Fig, 2 a top View and Fig. 3 an end view.

The scale consists of the pillar 1 with the on which the movable and roc'arrying hearings an the load sustaining fork 5 in which the receiver 6 is arranged in a suitable mariner. The receiver 6 is, as will be seen from Figs. '1 and 3 5115 ended in links 7 and rests on'the knife e ges 8. The outer ends of the fork formed load sustaining part 5 rest on the columns 4 and the opposite end enters with the arm '9 into the center line of the pillar 1 and'is there connected .with the steelyard 2 by means of the link 10.
